This isâ&#x20AC;Ś a survey a visual study a meeting of like-minded and unlike-minded individuals a collection of proposals a series of possibilities a creative jab at established conventions a non-aggressive form of subversion a silent protest a procession, a parade, a display a non-militaristic colour guard a chromatic adventure a bit of fun that also underscores more serious issues a host of human-centred opinions a questioning of priorities a wish list a poetic plea an exhibition in the form of a publication a re-gifting of gifts received from across the world a colossal thank you to the artists who contributed to the project
